Ranking ALL 52 Captures in Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Odyssey is one of if not THE best game in the super mario series. One major reason for that is because of the game’s 52 captures, which essentially act as power-ups for super mario odyssey. However, with capture ranging from a goomba, cactus, hammer bro, and even a T-Rex, some were bound to be worse than others. So join me today as I rank all 52 captures in super mario odyssey!

One of my absolute favorite parts of the Bowser and Pokio is their ability to stall mid-air by shaking the controller. I'm surprised you didn't go into it, but that little bit of mid-air movement is really key to these captures feeling good, at least in my opinion. It feels so fluid to use the Pokio because of this stall, in my opinion.

[@gunnadahun]

Been waiting on this vid for 5 years

[@cuomostan]

Why did odyssey central choose the bowser statue as the 48th moon? Let’s take a deeper dive. While odyssey ranked the captures he came across the bowser statue, and put it at 48, and uses a video to explain why. The video displays cool bowser dancing to electrodrome, a popular song from mario kart 8. This brings me to believe that there are only two options why he chose the bowser statue at 48, either he was comparing the bowser statue to cool bowser or he was describing it as cool by showing a cool bowser as a symbol of the bowser statues coolness. I lean towards odyssey thinking the bowser statue is cool and I think he used cool bowser on a more symbolic level. In order to understand why we need to take a deeper dive. In order to understand why I believe he finds the bowser statue cool rather than it being a reminder of cool bowser, we need to look at the cool bowser video. In the video, we see a kid playing with a bowser plush, referring to it as “cool bowser” and then proceeding to make cool bowser dance. This is significant since it shows how lacking cool bowser truly is. It is a great video, but I doubt odyssey finds it great to the point he wants to put a bowser related object in front of a rock and a taxi, two of the previous captures which odyssey ranked lower. Odyssey must have thought the bowser statue is cool, since thats what the bowser statue stands for. Since he thought it was cool, he used a video of cool bowser to symbolize how cool the bowser statue is. For all the reasons listed above, I must conclude that odyssey chose to put the bowser statue at 48 because he thought it was cool, not because it was cool bowser related.
